Wenger 'moaning like a drain'
Arsene Wenger is wrong to "moan like a drain" about weakened sides and fixture congestion, according to Stoke manager Tony Pulis. The Arsenal manager earlier expressed his anger that Wolves fielded a weakened side against Manchester United earlier this week. His fury then grew on Wednesday after the Gunners were held 1-1 by Burnley. And coupled with concern over fixture congestion, the Frenchjman is not a happy man. "Wenger is moaning like a drain because it doesn't suit Arsenal. He ain't moaning because it doesn't suit Stoke," said Pulis. "I don't think it was the walk in the park (for United). The players Wolves played, most of them are seasoned professionals - he hasn't played the youth team. No disrespect to Wenger but I don't think there is anything wrong with asking professional athletes to perform twice in three or four days."
